THE BIG BANG
2010 started with a bang. Literally. Eves Like so many New Year's before, much of Hawaii has become a simulated war zone, with fireworks and explosions outside air control. It is the local tradition, after all.
And because of this simple fact, do not hold your breath for a ban on fireworks proposed, if one was brought by four lawmakers Oahu and will be discussed at the session this year.It is difficult to imagine that the majority of elected officials, much less the public will wake up and smell the sulfur. It simply does not work that way.
However, it is difficult to imagine how the nostalgia continues to trump common sense. This year a record 112 people half of them children, were admitted to the emergency room fireworks injuries.
